CHAPTER 56: CHAPTER 56: IS HE STILL HUMAN?

"Ye Fei?"

Su Mai recognized immediately who the figure was.

However, after recognizing him, she was filled with confusion, not understanding what Ye Fei intended to do at this moment.

"Are you looking for death?" Su Mai instinctively asked.

"Looking for death? I actually treasure my life!" Ye Fei chuckled lightly, yet his footsteps didn’t hesitate the slightest.

Treasure life?

Su Mai seemed to have heard the funniest joke ever.

Is this what treasuring life looks like?

The giant tiger was right ahead at this moment. A normal person’s first reaction upon seeing it would be to turn and run. Treasuring life means stepping forward?

Could he be scared out of his mind?

Even the bodyguards protecting Su Mai looked at Ye Fei as if he were an idiot, completely unable to comprehend his thoughts!

It had to be known that these bodyguards, seasoned fighters who were all retired special forces soldiers, couldn’t harm the giant tiger even with firearms and ended up losing more than half of their men to it.

Master Sunx, a high-level Martial Artist, was even sent flying by the giant tiger’s paw.

A mere ordinary person like Ye Fei stepping forward—how was that different from looking for death?

Among all the people present, only Youu Cancan’s expression was somewhat different from the others; her gaze carried a blend of hope and worry.

"Could Ye Fei kill this monstrous giant tiger?"

Youu Cancan pondered in her heart but felt utterly insecure.

Though she had witnessed Ye Fei’s extraordinary skills at the United Commerce before—one finger collapsing half the arena and shattering a wall—

and even Lei Ming, hailed as the number one overseas Martial King and Wang Tong’s disciple, was crushed like an ant by Ye Fei.

But the giant tiger before them was no Lei Ming; it was a real monster!

Youu Cancan had no idea what consequences Ye Fei would face if he confronted the beast.

Boom!

At that very moment, another earth-shattering sound erupted.

Everyone’s attention immediately shifted away from Ye Fei.

Master Sunx, who had been knocked flying earlier, somehow engaged the giant tiger in battle once again, instantly reigniting the crowd’s hope.

But their hope was short-lived. After a few punches, the tiger let out another roar, utilizing its previous trick to freeze Master Sunx on the spot.

"It’s over! I never thought I, Sunx Yuanzheng, would meet my end here! Fate is cruel!"

Master Sunx’s face showed despair as the giant tiger’s paw slammed him to the ground and pinned him in place, rendering him immobile.

On Su Mai’s side, aside from the few bodyguards protecting her and Li Xu, everyone else was already dead.

The situation had escalated to a critical life-and-death moment!

Just then, Ye Fei had already arrived in front of the giant tiger.

Seeing Ye Fei suddenly appear, Master Sunx paused slightly before chuckling bitterly.

In times like this, there’s still a fearless fool?

But what good is fearlessness? Could this fool possibly kill the monster before them?

"Well, well! Dying together isn’t so bad; at least the netherworld road won’t be lonely!" Master Sunx muttered, slowly closing his eyes as if resigned to awaiting the approach of death.

Ye Fei glanced at Master Sunx but paid him no mind, instead looking up at the giant tiger and laughing, "I had thought Earth was an abandoned realm for cultivation, where the emergence of Demon Beasts was impossible. I came to see with little anticipation. Yet here you are!"

"Beasts absorb the essences of the sun and moon in their cultivation, unlocking spiritual intelligence to become Demon Beasts. They wield immense strength and universal wisdom. A Cultivator encountering one would surely capture it as a mount, while a Buddhist Practitioner would enlighten it into the monastery."

"But alas, I am a Cultivator with no interest in enslaving you. The Demon’s Way is one of unrestrained will, a path of slaughter!"

"So sorry—though your cultivation was no easy feat, I need to borrow your Life Soul! Consider it atonement for your two years of slaughter!"

As he spoke, Ye Fei’s eyes filled with killing intent, and with a single motion of his hand—

Swoosh!

A golden light flashed, and a small amber-colored blade materialized in Ye Fei’s hand. In an instant, it expanded, transforming into a majestic Demon Saber as tall as a person.

Ye Fei, gripping the Demon Saber, emanated a black aura, an image akin to a world-defying Demon God about to split heaven and earth!

"What... what’s he doing?"

Su Mai and Li Xu were dumbstruck by the sight, forgetting even to flee.

Master Sunx, closest to the scene, was equally stunned. The young man he once thought to be utterly powerless now seemed authoritative beyond comprehension, so awe-inspiring he dared not meet his gaze, revering him deeply instead.

"This blade, named Heavenly Slash, forged from Ancient Dragon Tooth, Tiger Wing, and Dog God—three Evil Blades, is consecrated today through blood!"

Ye Fei spoke calmly, raising the saber slowly.

In that moment, everything dimmed except Ye Fei himself. He was like a vibrant figure in a monochrome world—the absolute center of existence!

Finally, the giant tiger sensed Ye Fei’s anomaly and roared defiantly, spitting a blood-red orb toward him.

"That... that’s the Demon Core! The tiger demon is fighting to the death! It’s over!"

Master Sunx cried out in alarm, recognizing the Demon Core as the very thing the Su Family needed!

Yet this time, neither Su Mai nor Master Sunx focused on seizing the core. Their eyes were fixed on Ye Fei, wondering how he would perish under its assault.

"A Demon Beast Core, huh?"

Ye Fei watched the Demon Core flying toward him, his expression unmoved, his face emotionless. When Heavenly Slash reached its peak height, he suddenly roared, "Slash!"

Crash!

Heavenly Slash descended, shifting the colors of heaven and earth!

The saber in Ye Fei’s hand transformed into a colossal blade bridging heaven and earth, descending ruthlessly without resistance.

The giant tiger let out a harrowing scream.

Roar!

The tremendous sound forced everyone to cover their ears desperately, but their eyes remained riveted on Ye Fei’s figure, suspended mid-air like a Demon God.

The saber cleaved the tiger demon; the world trembled under the reign of the demon!

"Ye Fei rules! Ye Fei is unbelievable!"

Youu Cancan cheered the loudest.

Witnessing Ye Fei’s overwhelming power in eliminating the tiger demon with one strike, Youu Cancan jumped with joy.

The surviving bodyguards and Master Sunx visibly relaxed, looking at Ye Fei with newfound reverence.

As for Su Mai and Li Xu, they stood there dumbfounded.

Even now, they couldn’t comprehend—

Why the once-humiliated "bumpkin" Ye Fei, the target of mockery just moments ago, was now capable of vanquishing a monstrous tiger demon and hovering in mid-air like a god descending upon the earth.

Could he still be human?

Or perhaps, this very moment, Ye Fei was a deity incarnate?
